Entering Wuliuzhuang, Xiao Zhuo and Xu Shiji chatted with each other about the past years, and also learned why Xu Shiji and Wang Junke gathered here. It turned out that as early as three years ago, Xu Shiji listened to too many people in the Taoist temple.

Feeling sad and suffering, he decided to leave the Taoist temple to help the people. However, when he came down from the mountain, he saw that the people were suffering from hard labor, and he gradually became unable to do what he wanted. At that time, he thought: With his own strength, no matter how hard he tried, he could only save one person.

That's all, if everyone in the world can be liberated, how can he do it alone? While he was tortured by this kind of thinking, he came to the home of his good friend Wang Junke, who was taking in his wife.

There were so many people fleeing and he was suffering from headaches. At that time, Xu Shiji knew that although Wang Junke's headaches were different on the surface and what he was worried about, they were still the same in essence. They were all caused by the heavy labor in the imperial court! It was precisely because of the heavy labor that

Only ordinary people will flee, but they have escaped, but how to survive is the problem. Although Wang Junke can take in some people, Wang Junke is still an ordinary person after all. No matter how rich his family is, he cannot withstand such squandering. If this continues, he will eventually

It was not a long-term solution. The two of them thought about it and decided to do something to rob the rich and help the poor. However, for the sake of safety, they only occupied the mountains and robbed the roads and robbed the rich on the fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth of each month.

Don't rob the poor. And outside of these three days, they make a living by running inns. It's just that this kind of life was okay at first. As time went by, the wealthy households also figured out some ways, and they started to run inns.

idea. However, they didn’t do things too seriously. Since they were asking for money, they only took some money. If the guest who lost his property was really urgent, or the lost thing was particularly valuable, the people at the inn would also notify Wuliuzhuang

Return it here, or secretly give the person who lost the item a message and ask them to go to a specific place to retrieve the item. However, as the incidents occurred more frequently, it also attracted the attention of the local officials. Fortunately, Xu Shiji had no intention of doing so.

They discovered the weirdness of the Feng Shui layout of Wuliuzhuang, which allowed everyone to escape from danger. From then on, Wuliuzhuang was regarded as a gathering place.

"Brother Xu Dao, I didn't expect that after six years of not seeing each other, you still learned how to read Feng Shui!" Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but look at Xu Shiji in a different light when he heard this. This is because the study of Feng Shui originally belongs to the lineage of celestial phenomena and spirits. Although there are some spreads in the world,

However, they are all basic methods of looking at mountains and rivers. They can distinguish good and bad luck, but it is difficult to combine yin and yang. The Feng Shui layout of Wuliuzhuang is obviously beyond the scope of Feng Shui magicians in the world. Xu Shiji can even see this.

I don't know if I was fooled or not!

"Brother Xiao! Don't make fun of me. I have only read some books on this subject. When I first came to Wuliuzhuang, I was also very curious about why there were clouds and fog here at night. Until later, one of my clothes

It was blown to the roof. When I went up to get it, I noticed that the positions of the five willow trees outside Wuliuzhuang happened to occupy the five willows of Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen and Kan, which are said to be used for building houses.

The most important thing about a courtyard is Feng Shui. You said, how can anyone build a courtyard to block the Feng Shui of their own house? So I concluded that there must be something fishy about this house. That night I broke off a piece of peach wood and tried it with Brother Wang at night. Sure enough, I followed

When he left, he couldn't get out of the clouds at all, but when he followed me, he walked out within a moment."

Taomu! Only then did Xiao Zhuo understand why when he chased the people at the inn, why they could easily get rid of him in the clouds and mist. According to legend, when Kuafu was chasing the sun, due to fatigue, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the cane he was holding. Later, Kuafu fell into the West Sea with the sun in his arms, and his walking stick fell to the west coast and took root on the ground, turning into a ten-mile peach forest. Therefore, the peach trees in the world have the ability to suppress evil spirits. Presumably those people carry peach trees with them, so they can avoid being caught by the clouds. Confused, and he didn't notice the strangeness of the clouds when he first chased him. By the time he realized it, those people had already returned to Wuliuzhuang. However, after Xiao Zhuo figured these things out, he didn't care anymore. He was more concerned about, It is still the position occupied by the five willow trees mentioned by Xu Shiji.

"Brother Xu Dao, wait!" Xiao Zhuo stopped Xu Shiji from continuing to speak, stood up, walked to the eaves and jumped onto the roof. Looking around, it was just as Xu Shiji said, the positions of the five willow trees were just right. The five positions Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen and Kan occupying Wuliuzhuang, he was also startled now.

People attach great importance to Feng Shui when building garden houses. Among them, the position of Qian is the sky or even the position of spirit. Heaven brings auspiciousness and good fortune; the position of Kun is the earth, which brings vitality and longevity; the position of Xun is the wind, and the wind blows far and wide. For eternity; the earthquake position is thunder, and the thunder will tremble, and evil spirits will avoid it; the ridge position is water, and if the water is moist, the place will be famous; the departure position is fire, and the fire will become a feast, and the family will be prosperous; the Gen position is a mountain, and the mountain will sit like a rock. It has been solid for hundreds of generations; it has been converted into a bounty, and its true name has spread throughout the world. In other words, in such a place with eight positions, there must be no evil things to suppress it. Only a place with all eight positions is the best choice for building a house. Wuliuzhuang was built in such a remote place, and the people who built it must have known this. But for some unknown reason, five of the eight spiritual sources in Wuliuzhuang at this time had their spiritual energy cut off, and the willow trees were still in the dark. As a result, the five elements of heaven, earth, wind, water, and thunder failed, but the three elements of fire, mountain, and lake were left. Among them, the mountain is the most secluded, deep and deep, and it is easy for evil spirits to arise; the lake is the most secluded. At the end of the spirit, each other complements the other, and all the five spirits are lost. A mountain alone adds to the evil spirits. Fortunately, there is still a fire. The lone sun embraces the yin, so Wuliuzhuang does not become a place of absolute yin. If the willow tree at the water level is planted at the fire level Go up, I'm afraid that Wuliuzhuang has long become a place where strangers are not allowed to enter!

"Master Wang, Brother Xu Dao, since you took over this village, has anyone stayed in the village until Haishi?" After Xiao Zhuo came down from the roof, he asked before they could ask anything. Wang Junke finished listening, I thought about it carefully before answering him: "That's not true. When I took over this village, I also thought that the original owner was pitiful. Moreover, the original owner told me at that time that no one should be allowed in the courtyard after Haishi. Later, Taoist Master Xu also said this The place is not suitable for people to live, so when I left Zhuangzi these years, I was always the last one to leave, for fear that someone would stay in the village."

"Oh!" When Xiao Zhuo heard what Wang Junke said, he also ruled out the suspicion that the original owner of Zhuangzi was plotting to harm others. Looking at the time again, it was almost Haishi, so he asked again: "Then which one of you Do you have the guts to stay here with me until Haishi?" Xiao Zhuo looked around at Wang Junke, Xu Shiji and Hou Junji, but none of the three said anything.

"Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord, since Pindao is determined to learn Taoism, he should face what he has to face. Pindao will stay with Mr. Xiao!" Xu Shiji was the first to speak up.

"Since Taoist Xu wants to stay, I, Wang Junke, naturally cannot leave him alone, so I will stay too." After Wang Junke finished speaking, he looked at Hou Junji again, and before Hou Junji could speak, he spoke first: "Jun

Ji, you take the brothers away first. If someone comes looking for the lost property, don’t delay others!"

"But brother..." Hou Junji looked around and seemed a little embarrassed.

"That's it. You are alert and good at lightness. The business has just been completed tonight. I need you to explore the way for the brothers to evacuate safely. Don't delay here! Go quickly! Let everyone leave quickly!" Wang Junke

He kept urging, regardless of whether Hou Junji objected or not, and pushed him to leave quickly. Hou Junji had no choice but to leave as he was told.

When Hou Junji left with everyone, it was almost Haishi. Xiao Zhuo, Xu Shiji and Wang Junke jumped on the roof and watched the shadows of the trees in the courtyard gradually lengthen at an incredible speed under the moonlight, and finally at

The ground slowly formed a personal shape, and then these figures broke away from the shadow of the trees and stood up.

"What's wrong? Xu..."

Wang Junke looked at Xu Shiji's eyes widening suddenly. He was about to ask why, but Xiao Zhuo covered his mouth. Then Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand and scratched his eyebrows. He saw that at this moment

In the courtyard, there were five or six erratic figures standing, their feet never touching the ground or moving. He was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded.

Xiao Zhuo can probably guess who the souls in this courtyard are, but he doesn't know why they stayed in Wuliu Village. But since they have been staying in Wuliu Village, they must have had some interest in Wuliu Village during their lifetime.

An extremely deep relationship that you don’t want to leave even after death? But if you think about it more carefully, something is wrong. Love is the most important thing in life. Either a close friend, a loved one, or a close relative. How can anyone miss you while you are alive?

Although the five willow trees outside the courtyard gathered Yin Qi to extinguish the five spiritual sources of Wuliuzhuang, they were not able to restrain the freedom of these souls. So why did these souls refuse to leave?

While Xiao Zhuo was thinking, suddenly there was a clear sound in his ears. Several people quickly looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a white-haired old man walking slowly towards Wuliuzhuang step by step.

"Old man Weng?" Wang Junke's words clearly showed that he knew this old man.

"Master Wang knows this father-in-law?" Xiao Zhuo watched Old Man Weng walking step by step. Every three steps he took, he would lightly shake his hand, and a crisp sound would be heard.

"He is the original owner of Zhuangzi. When he sold Zhuangzi to me, I thought he was alarmist. Now it seems..." Wang Junke said this, quickly pulled Xiao Zhuo and asked: "

Mr. Xiao, will Old Man Weng be in danger?"

Xiao Zhuo couldn't answer Wang Junke's question. Since Old Man Weng had reminded Wang Junke when he sold the village, it meant that Old Man Weng knew the strangeness of this village. Now, Old Man Weng came over in the middle of the night. What was his purpose?

Why, Xiao Zhuo really couldn't say for sure. But when Xiao Zhuo took another look at the courtyard, he felt that Old Man Weng probably didn't have any ill intentions in coming here.

Because just when the pan bell in Old Man Weng's hand rang again, the six dead souls in the courtyard who looked a little scary at first finally calmed down and returned to their true colors. It turned out that among the six dead souls, one was a middle-aged man, and the other was a middle-aged man.

She is a middle-aged woman, and it seems that they must have been a couple before she was alive. There is also a man and a woman, who seem to be a couple, and are holding a child of about five or six years old and looking at the door. The last one is

A child of about eleven or twelve years old was slowly walking towards the door. These six dead souls, until Old Man Weng entered the courtyard, they all retreated one after another, leaving a large space.

Ding bell! There was another ringing sound, and Old Man Weng took out an object from his bag, and then his fingers fluttered gently, and the object also danced gently in the courtyard. It turned out to be a puppet. Xiao Zhuo and the other three looked at the object from the roof.

The puppet fluttered back and forth in Old Man Weng's hands as if it were alive, and the dance it performed was no weaker than that of the real person. Every step, every move, every step, involuntarily attracted the attention of the viewers, even if the figure suddenly enlarged in front of their eyes.

They didn't think there was anything strange about the real person's situation, and they still just watched the beautiful figure dancing in the moonlit night.
